Maria Curatio

Of all the cast members, Maria possibly remains the most untainted by the world. Though, she has experienced some degree of social mistreatment. At the age of 24 Maria has always been cursed with the body of a child. She stands at just over five feet with trimmed brown hair and a white hair band across the forehead with a blue cross on it, representing her occupation of being a nurse. When not working, she goes around with a sleeveless white turtleneck, white gloves, sleek white pants with more crosses on her hips, and simple women’s boots. And of course, Sonaris looming over her for most of the day.

Because Maria was always somewhat child-like in appearance when growing up she had to deal with the slings and arrows that came from the mouths of children, they really are terribly cruel. But eventually, Maria became accustomed to the verbal bullying, and in turn developed a very strong will. Coupled with simple and straight forward logic, Maria often is the person that chimes in with the one thing that no one will think of, but come to realize that it was very obvious in the end.

It was during the Myreison War that Maria became a nurse, fitting of her namesake. She was on countless battlefields, saving many lives, but also watching many of lives become extinguished. Though she saw many atrocities, Maria did not succumb to any psychological damage from it, due to an already hardened will of mind.

She settled down in Lutenia after the Myreison War and continued being a nurse, though she was still confused as a teenager at best, and still putting up with the chuckles of patients who towered over her. Maria also took to being part of Lutenia’s peace keeping squad when the Shadow Council emerged. During one night that she was on duty and attending with a patrol, they were attacked by Shadow Council members. But shortly after the battle began, a mysterious man emerged on the scene, and it was none other than the war hero; Sonaris. He dispatched the members quickly and to Maria’s surprise, she found herself in the company of the war’s greatest hero. For some reason, Sonaris did not mind Maria’s childish appearance, and standing almost two feet taller than her, followed her around as she showed him Lutenia. Ultimately, Sonaris decided to stop travelling the world, staying in Lutenia with Maria in an apartment, at least until he was ready to move on again.

Maria remains happy to have met Sonaris, as he does not treat her inferiorly, and for the most part her days of being bullied have ended, at least by the hands of her patients. Maria still remains pestered by the suitors that come after Sonaris, as he refuses to displease his host. Be it for the better or worse, Maria is now only bothered by the envious women. But it is a small price to pay to finally earn respect, or at the least, tolerance from society.
